New cast

Yep! Ster had to have his first cast cut off and a new one put on! They said this is the first time they have had to put a new one on the very next day - but I'm sure it has happened before. The nice doctor said, "We'll see you tomorrow!" as he started to walk out. No way! I told him thanks, but no thanks. We were told that there have been kids that have had to have 3 or 4 casts put on before it was healed - but if I have to pay for another cast, Ster better ask for a cast for his butt because I'll beat it!

Ster kept saying he was sorry for putting in that lego and that he wouldn't do it again. Of course, then I felt bad for yelling WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU DO THAT????

The first picture shows the imprint of the lego on his arm. Guess it was a good thing we replaced the cast, huh! You can't really tell, but it was really really red and puffed up around where the lego had been. The second picture is of his cast with the screwdriver through it. We tried and tried to get the dang lego out with a screwdriver (I very carefully used it - I am a nervous nelly and was scared of hurting him more), a spoon, needle-nose pliers, a ruler, and then a hanger. I had to take a break to get a picture of it =)
